I fail the point in that. It's the opposite of what makes sense, i.e. putting symlinks in /usr/bin to programs in /usr/blah/bin, which allows easy execution of said programs without having a very long PATH variable and allows easy management of applications as they can be completely contained under their own directory tree.
